This is a beautiful location! Delicious brunch! I can honestly say I loved the brunch menu and set up prior to the remodel but it still has really delicious brunch. It is a staple event (to go to brunch here) when we travel so I will probably go back and see if they tweaked the menu any. On my last visit I did go for brunch buffet ( leaning more towards breakfast items) and the only breakfast item they had was omelettes. I was looking more so for scrambled eggs, pancakes or waffles ( which they had pre cooked cold waffle quarters beautifully arranged) like it used to have. That wasn't the case this time. I would still go back because the aesthetic,service and food are awesome.

The breakfast buffet is back! Only on Saturday and Sunday. I highly suggest reservations. They start serving at 9:00am. You can go before and order off the menu. So many wonderful choices to choose from. The service is impeccably on point. They cater to everything in your needs. Asking for bread and sauces. Best coffee ☕ and peach tea. There's little of everything for dietary needs. I love how they transform the room and add fresh flowers. Must have for a special occasion.

Sunday brunch buffet. We’ve been a regular for Sunday brunch for years, going once or twice a month. The renovations are terrific and the brunch menu has truly kicked up even better than before. Item selections are extensive enough and the dishes are prepared world class, exceeding expectations for a brunch buffet style. Prices went up to $65 per person ( not unexpected) but I was surprised to be charged $6 each for two cups of coffee - pretty sure coffee should be part of the buffet.

The food and service (Harriet), and music combo (sax, 12-string guitar and vocalist) deserve 5 stars, but the attire of the patrons barely deserve one star. The Fetterman look seems to be emulated these days in Charleston, with the addition of wife-beater T-shirts and flip flops spicing up the wardrobe. So the atmosphere only gets 2 stars thanks to the tasteless (primarily men) dress of the diners. Mr. Navarro should consider at least a minimal dress code.

Wonderful. An elegant place for good low country cuisine. John was our server and his attention to us added to the meal. The shecrab soup is real and really good. The shrimp and grits were a savory dish that was served with no tailed shrimp, as it should be. They serve a peach tea using Harney & Sons and this wonderfully refreshing.

I LOVEDDDDD this cafe. We ate here for breakfast back to back and had the breakfast buffet which we just loved. Our server the second time wasn't so on par but the first time everything was terrific. The natural light in this place is INSANE and gives the restaurant such a luxurious feel and just makes you happy just being there. I will absolutely come back again. As far as the buffet the sausage was my favorite thing but the also have a omelet station.
